Are you referring to sig.digest here? It looks like you will hit a 
BUG_ON() in public_key_verify_signature() if sig.digest is 0. However, 
sig.digest is unlikely to be 0 because the struct is not cleared - should 
fix this, since public_key_verify_signature() will try to follow that 
random pointer.

Is the idea to write the signature to the socket, and then read out the 
expected digest (the digest comparison being done elsewhere)? Is that 
something that will be supported by a future hardware asymmetric key 
subtype?

verify_signature() ends up calling public_key_verify_signature(), which 
currently expects to get both the digest and signature as input and 
returns an error if verification fails. The output of 
crypto_akcipher_verify() is discarded before public_key_verify_signature() 
returns so nothing ends up in req->dst to read from the socket.

ALG_OP_VERIFY should behave the same whether using ALG_SET_PUBKEY or 
ALG_SET_PUBKEY_ID, and they aren't right now.

If sig.digest is 0, verify_signature() could return the expected digest in 
the sig structure and skip the digest comparison it currently does. Then 
that data could be packaged up in req as if crypto_akcipher_verify() had 
been called. I don't know if this change confuses the semantics of 
verify_signature() too much, maybe a new function is required with all the 
requisite plumbing to the asymmetric key subtype.
